Why the weight of a body decreases with increases in distance from the earth's surface​

Physics

because as the distance increases the gravitational force decreases so the weight of a body decreases

Bess [88]3 years ago

Answer:

Weight of the body decreases with increase in distance from the Earth because weight is inversely proportional to distance from the Earth which means Weight of the body decreases with increase in distance from the Earth and vice versa. Also Weight is "gravitational force exerted on the body" so as the distance from the Earth increases , the "gravitational force" decreases.

a 12-kg block is pulled by a string at a 30 degree angle. if the string exerts a 50 n force, the block accelerates at 4.13 m/s2.
alexdok [17]

Let, frictional force is f and normal force is N.

Balancing horizontal forces :

50cos \ 30^o - f = 12 \times 4.13\\\\f = 50cos \ 30^o - 49.56\\\\f = -6.26\ N

Also, balancing vertical forces, we get :

N = mg + 50sin \ 30^o\\\\N =( 12\times 9.8 ) + (50\times sin \ 30^o)\\\\N = 142.6\ N

Therefore, the frictional force and normal force is -6.26 N and 142.6 N.

lightning sometimes happens between clouds. suggest a possible way that a discharge can occur between clouds
nataly862011 [7]
Most lightning happens inside a cloud, but sometimes it happens between the cloud and the ground. A build up of positive charge builds up on the ground beneath the cloud, attracted to the negative charge in the bottom of the cloud. The ground's positive charge concentrates around anything that sticks up-trees, lightning conductors, even people. The positive charge from the ground connects with the negative charge from the clouds and a spark of lightning strikes.

Asteroid A has 3.5 times the mass and 2.0 times the velocity of Asteroid B. If
kaheart [24]

Answer:

   K_A = 32.2 10⁶ J

Explanation:

In this exercise we must relate the quantities given to find the kinetic energy

   

Asteroid A data

              m_A = 3.5 m_B

               v_A = 2.0 v

they also give the value of the kinetic energy of asteroid A

              K_B = 2.3 10⁶ J

the expression for scientific energy is

               K = ½ m v²

let's replace

              K_A = ½ m_a V_a2

               K_A = ½ 3.5 m_B (2.0 v_B)^2

                K_A = 3.5 2² (½ m_B v_B²)

                K_A = 14 K_B

                   

               K_A = 32.2 10⁶ J

(50 POINTS) HELP!!!!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
zepelin [54]
C) During chemical reaction, total mass remains the same.

This is because due to the law of conservation of mass, stating that in a chemical reaction, neither mass will be created nor destroyed. So, the total mass will not change when chemical reactions occur.
